My mum passed 4 days ago and now I feel nothing

Hi I'm new to the page and this is my first post but I didn't know where else to get some real answers. 
my mum was diagnosed in July 2018 with stage 4 lung cancer. Long story short it spread to her brain about 12 mi the later and just recently her bones. Until February this year when she had her last radiotherapy in the brain she was doing amazingly well and as a family we were dealing with each knock back and so proud of how she was coping. 
she passed away on Monday after deteriorating quite rapidly. The first 2 days I couldn't stop crying. My heart physically hurt. But since yesterday I feel nothing. It's so strange. I know what's happened obviously but I just feel like I should be feeling sadder if that makes sense. We were extremely close and had a fantastic relationship. Is this normal ?

  • So sorry to hear of your mum passing and after reading your post i wanted to let you know you are not alone and everyone deals with it so different i lost my Dad in Feb at the age of 52 after he was diganosied with cancer 2 years ago he lost his battle and my Dad was my bestest friend in the world we were so close they had me at 15 so i was very close as my age now is 35 we went out together and to the races and shows ect.

    He died and i cried when i got the call i cried again that night then after that not again till the funeral night and it still dosnt feel real now it might not feel real to you and you will deal with it how you feel best please dont feel bad about not crying.

    I went to see my Dad at the funeral home and i am so glad i did as when i seen him in hospital he looked terrible and the funeral home made him look better than he has in months but again everyone to there own.

    I wish you strength going forward xxx

  • Oh I'm so sorry to read this. This forum definitely makes you realise you are not alone. So many of us losing our loved ones to this horrid disease. 
    mum was at home for the last days after being in hospice care for around 2 months. So although she looked very poorly we did get to spend time with her. Thankfully. 
    I feel cheated though that covid has stolen the last year from us as we haven't spent time with her as we would have.( Until January this year she was going strong). 
    It's a rollercoaster of emotions that I have never experienced before. 
    I hope you are coping with your loss also. Xx

  • Sorry for your loss anxiety totally agree covid has a lot to answer for I do believe if more attention was paid to patients of cancer my Dad might still be here but no point thinking of what could have been.

    Life surely is a rollercoster of unprictible situations learning to deal with them is the challenge we face.

    I hope you too are coping x
